A quick Google page speed analysis gives you a page speed of 43/100.
And states
-----------------------------------------------------
"Compressing the following resources with gzip could reduce their transfer size by 126.3KiB (81% reduction).
"
NB: This is something that your hosts can implement for you if required.
-------------------------------------------
Your CSS is also very large and you could probably prune 50% off the file size removing unrequired styles (be careful not to remove ones used on certain pages e.g. checkout).
Our smallest packages have a 10Gb bandwidth limit which is usually more than sufficient. 4Gb on Search engine bots is not unheard of, however if consistent it does seem unusually high. That said, there are others who would give their right arm to have Google spider their site half as frequently!
You mentioned the '/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl' file, the Actinic search file.
I'd check your server log files to see if their is any common source accessing your search page in bulk which may be artificially driving up the stats for this page.
I have noticed that if you search on a very generic term you get a huge number of results. The HTML bytes required to display the page search result navigation alone can add about 50Kb to the search results page on its own!
